Pick your battles in Talk Radio

I don’t actually want people to NOT vote for Biden, so I decided not to finish or post this for where I initially wrote it. Seriously everybody blue no matter fucking who.

Examples of Biden being gross:

• Joe Biden Recalls round the clock sex in gay bathhouses

• Joe calls a woman a lying dog faced pony soldier. Fun fact: I actually thought this was satire when I read it. WTF is a pony soldier??

• a slate compilation of Biden telling women not to date anyone until they are 30

Some things that Biden has said are mistakes I can maybe forgive him for, but will make him less electable:

• not just voting for the Iraq war, but proposing and supporting it years before 9/11

• supported segregation in the 70s in addition to other important civil rights issues, such as the busing Kamala dunked him for in the debate (I’m not a fan of Kamala either, FYI)

• history of indirect attacks on pro-choice legislation, such as the amendment preventing taxes from funding abortions for poor women.

• Has until very recently repeated a lot of outdated and ill-founded “gateway drug” based doubts in cannabis legalization

Policy choices I still hold against Biden

• His reputation for bipartisan support comes from helping GOP with a lot of racist bills like these. Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act in 94: increased punitive punishments across the board including the death penalty and making drug testing mandatory for parolees. Imagine going back to prison for smoking a joint. You have Joe and the Clinton administration to thank for making that more of a thing.

• Before Trump, the Obama administration was the WORST for immigrants, and anyone working in food service at the time probably worked with someone who was deported.

• Biden has bragged about his 1995 counter-terrorism act being foundation for GWB’s terrible Patriot Act surveillance bill.

• helped inflate the terrible student loan debt and education racket by removing student loans as a type of loan that can be forgiven in bankruptcy.
